Assistant athletic trainer Tara Moore recently identified a flaw in the NCAA men’s soccer rule book and immediately took action when a Duke player’s medical condition brought up red flags.
Moore came to Durham in 2015 from the University of Alabama, where she served as a graduate assistant athletic trainer, after graduating with a degree in athletic training from the University of Southern Maine in 2013. As an undergraduate, Moore was a member of the women’s soccer program and knows the game inside and out, including the rules.
“The rule in soccer is once you come out of the game in the first half, you’re not allowed to re-enter the contest,” Moore explained.
